Granted, I've had other bib numbers... For example, USFHK Cross Country: 090 and the Standard Chartered HK 10km: F2843. But those 123's are not things you expect to happen.
I want to think it's not coincidence. Because such a unique racing number doesn't land on you so frequently. And it got me curious. What does it mean? Numerology gives us a number of different theories. The one I like the most is the angel number theory. I've always loved those theories (it's why I still make wishes at 11:11).
In a nutshell, the number 123 says "Simplify your life. Get rid of anything that’s pulling at your energy, time, or finances—especially anything that pulls you away from your life purpose. The ascended masters are helping you with this simplification."
If there's anything my life has had in the past year and a half--it's clutter. Messes that I haven't cleaned up, places I've yet to go, and things I've yet to prove. Over-ambition is one of my greatest vices and it always leads me to never being able to do one thing excellently. I've always been that 'jack of all trades, master of none'.
Well, here's where I draw the line.
In a time of metamorphosis, I believe that God is telling me to calm down. Even if it's just coincidental number repeats, I feel that this is a very important lesson and my life's huge turning point in perspective:
I must take life in stride and be happy in the now; things will naturally fall into place if we do things consciously and happily for the future. I have to focus my energies where they are most needed. In the past year, I've been putting my energy in things that are simply not worth the time. Why? I guess because I think that I have to. To prove myself. I want so badly to do something awesome. But perhaps... perhaps God has some other plan for me. You know, we don't always know what's best for ourselves. Sometimes we chase things that don't even make us happy. And ultimately, it doesn't help anybody else or make anybody else happy. Ultimately, life is really simple in that sense. A meaningful life is not about doing many things; a meaningful life is about making an impact where it matters.
Priorities:
1. Academics
2. Finances
3. Self-improvement (personal fitness and language learning)
4. Fitness Connection/REDbird

Frugality is one of the most beautiful and joyful words in the English language, and yet one that we are culturally cut off from understanding and enjoying. The consumption society has made us feel that happiness lies in having things, and has failed to teach us the happiness of not having things. --Elise Boulding
